Kick Off: Keane and Claudine the new Becks-Posh?

That’s what LA Galaxy fans did when Robbie Keane got off his flight at LAX on Thursday night. He’ll participate in his first practice on Friday followed by a press conference and MLSsoccer.com will have all the coverage from LA ahead of his debut against the San Jose Earthquakes (10:30 p.m. ET, MatchDay Live).

Keane arrives to MLS during a week in which the league experienced its best run ever in CONCACAF Champions League play. Toronto FC made it a clean sweep for MLS sides in CCL group stage openers — five wins in five matches — with their 2-1 win in Panama against Tauro last night. Don’t look now, but Toronto are 4-0-2 in their last six matches in all competitions. (VIDEO)

Toronto will hope to continue this run in league play on Sunday night, when they visit the Chicago Fire (7 p.m. ET, MatchDay Live), who were also in action on Thursday.

The Fire now own the dubious record for most draws in a season after last night’s 1-1 tie against D.C. United. While manager Frank Klopas criticizes the referee for missing an offsides call, he has another issue to deal with: Grazzini-Gate.

While the Fire’s head coach told media he wanted his goal scorer, Sebastián Grazzini, to play more minutes — “he told me that he needed to come out," Klopas said of his 72nd minute substitute — the player claims that the substitution was not prompted by him: “The coach had told me he would take me out so I'll be available for the next match [vs. Toronto FC].”

The equalizing goal from D.C. came from ex-Chicago Fire forward Josh Wolff, who was around during the 1998 inaugural season in which they won the double. Wolff is only one of two original Fire players still playing in MLS: “We’re the last of the Mohicans,” he said.

The New York Red Bulls’ Designated Players will be asked to carry their team this weekend as they meet the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium on Saturday (7:30 p.m. ET). Now in a dogfight for a playoff spot, Red Bulls defender Tim Ream doesn’t mince words in this interview: “Playing pretty soccer isn't winning us games, so we just have to dig deep and do the dirty stuff now.”

As Sporting Kansas City get set to host D.C. United on Sunday night (8:30 p.m. ET, MatchDay Live), details emerged regarding the identity of one of the persons allegedly involved in the bobblehead-throwing incident on Wednesday night. His dad spoke to the Kansas City Star.

While Sporting Kansas City get to enjoy a slew of home games to end the season, Real Salt Lake are facing more road games. Captain Kyle Beckerman knows that their ability to gain points on the road — they’ve collected just nine thus far — will determine where they finish in the standings: “We’re going to have to step up and start getting results on the road.” It starts on Saturday at Houston against the Dynamo (8:30 p.m. ET, MatchDay Live).
